H&R lowering springs

I got some goodies today! :banana:

USPS managed to loose this in PA so they came a couple days later than I originally expected. And with a big trial coming up this week I'm not sure when I will get around to installing these. But I'm really stoked to see how she looks lowered.

Vinyl

Thanks to Sub at jmpvinyls.com I have my vinyls decals on the car. :banana:

From the front

From the back

The hood

Exactly what I wanted it to do

Yeah, I believe JMP styled them that way to match the way the Sonic badge.
But when I saw it online I knew it would work exactly like I had imagined it would.

So, I made an appointment to get the parking cable clip done on my car at my local Chevy dealership. They said they didn't order the clip when I came in to have it installed. Not very happy at this point haha luckily I have a few local dealers.

Okay, Well they ordered them only to find out mine weren't an issue to begin with. I guess they didn't quite understand the recall note? But regardless I got new end links and a new sun visor clip. I also got my red/black RS logo mats ordered from the dealer as well. Hopefully have those next week...

Just ordered some stuff today, so I will keep it posted up here.:banana:

Got some of the goodies today! Nothing major though

Cargo net for the trunk so my gardening supplies will stop rolling around everywhere in the back. And also a sunglass holder that replaces the "OH ****!" handle.

The good stuff should be here tomorrow I believe...

 

[sonix13]

Got some more things in the mail today!

Damn, do I love coming home to new car parts!!

Gotta love that DDM tape!

DDM heat shield
DDM wheel spacers
DDM silicone intercoler hoses
New mirror caps that will be painted red

Today ****ing sucked at work, but my day was made considerably better when I came home and found these waiting for me.

Nothing major, but all small steps take us closer to our destination. These pictured are my set of HELLA suoertone horns, redline tuning hood lift kit, and my RS red trim floor mats.

This weekend I have stuff going out to be painted professionally. So I'll keep this updated, not that I think anyone cares. But this will be a good reference for me.

Hey brother, you have a good direction, I'm liking. Tell me, are the outer guards on the horns removable so you could repaint or no?

Thanks...
Yeah, they are bolted on. Just take them off and you can repaint them. I'm going to have mine painted red... I'm having them painted to match the rest of my stuff I'm getting painted.

Looking good, have good taste!

Bumper Removal

Alright, well I pulled the bumper this afternoon. Fairly simple to do, managed to not break anything so that's a first for me. :banana:

I will leave it off till I can get the Ddm silicone intercooler hose kit installed. Also probably till I get this stuff back from the painter.

I've seen some people ask about the badge and how it connects so here ya go.

It also has adhesive on the paint side.

here is a picture of what's blocking off the grille on the RS models.

Redline Tuning Hood Lift System

I also installed the hoodlift system from redline tuning. Took about 5 minutes and absolutely no effort to install. Looks 100% better and it makes working on the car a lot easier as well.

Before

Installed

Can you take some pics of the air snorkel area while you have your bumper off. I wanted to disconnect mine but am wondering if I should just take off the whole bumper to put an air funnel on it.

That what you're looking for?

Ddmworks Silicone Intercooler Hose Kit

I installed my DDM silicone intercooler hose kit, makes a substantial difference when there is no bumper cover. Install was easy and they don't swell nearly as much as the stock hoses do. Check it out...

Got some of my parts back from paint!
